Convicted serial killer Robert Pickton has written a new book claiming to tell his story.
“Pickton: In His Own Words” is a 144-page book published by Outskirts Press, a Colorado-based self-publishing company.
“This is Pickton’s story ‘in his own words’. A detailed story accusing the Royal Canadian mounted police and the Commissioner, of total corruption and abuse of power,” reads a description of the book which is available for sale on Amazon as well as the Barnes & Noble website.
Pickton was arrested in 2002, setting off an exhaustive search for human remains on his pig farm in Port Coquitlam, B.C.
Investigators found the remains or DNA of 33 women.
Pickton was convicted of six counts of second-degree murder, and prosecutors then stayed another 20 murder charges because the serial killer had already received the maximum sentence under the law.
Reports say Pickton wrote the book in his maximum security cell at his B.C. prison. But because his correspondence is monitored, he passed the manuscript to another inmate.
The B.C. government says they are appealing to Amazon to stop selling the book.
